Federal Department of Economics, Education and Research (26.08.2020) Bern, - Additional hours that are built up outside of short-time working phases should not have to be temporarily deducted from lost work. This was decided by the Federal Council on August 26, 2020. In addition, income from interim employment is still not counted towards short-time work compensation. This rule therefore applies until the end of the year.
Two provisions of the AVIV Unemployment Insurance Ordinance remain valid:
- The extra hours that have accumulated outside the short-time work phase still do not have to be deducted.
- The income from interim employment is still not counted towards the short-time work allowance.
This amendment to the Unemployment Insurance Ordinance comes into force on September 1, 2020 and is valid until December 31, 2020.
Bern, 08/26/2020 - Additional hours that are built up outside of short-time working phases should not have to be temporarily deducted from lost work.

This rule therefore applies until the end of the year.
On August 12, 2020, the Federal Council decided to retain the simplified procedure for short-time work compensation for a limited period under the COVID-19 unemployment insurance ordinance. As a result, two provisions of the AVIV Unemployment Insurance Ordinance remain valid:
- The extra hours that have accumulated outside the short-time work phase still do not have to be deducted.
- The income from interim employment is still not counted towards the short-time work allowance.
The two simplifications relieve the unemployment funds. This enables you to decide more quickly about possible short-time working allowances. This amendment to the Unemployment Insurance Ordinance comes into force on September 1, 2020 and is valid until December 31, 2020.
